MEXICO ~ San Juan de Dios Market - Guadalajara ~

... Delicious fruits and vegetables displayed for sale... this is probably the biggest and oldest market under a roof in Latin America... it gives travelers a unique shopping experience... three levels market that appears to be one of Guadalajara's hot spots.... it literally sells everything and anything you can think of... each level has sections for something specific... from traditional clothing, jewelry, food, fresh meat, candy, tequila to touristy items... Thanks a lot Diego!!【ツ】
